Nigerian cheats death after falling from 12th floor

A Nigerian man was seriously hurt but cheated death after falling from the 12th floor of the Neocyber Apartment in Lingkaran Cyberpoint Barat here, Thursday.

Mohammad Abdul Karim Garna, 30, fell from the 12th floor but luckily landed on the fifth floor while trying to enter his friend's unit next door.

Cyberjaya Fire Station chief Izman Adnan said the victim climbed via the corridor after his friend did not respond to knocks on the door.

Firemen who arrived at the scene found the victim, a student at a private higher learning institution, lying on the floor but still conscious.

"The victim sustained serious injuries to his waist, fracture both legs and suffered a cut on the chin," he said.

He was later sent to the Putrajaya Hospital for treatment.
